Summary

With the new Panamera S E-Hybrid, Porsche presents the first standard plug-in hybrid concept for the luxury sector. The drivetrain represents a consistent further development of the full-hybrid vehicles already successful on the market. However, it has been updated to achieve the lowest possible fuel consumption and to meet future emission laws before they even take effect. It was possible to increase the performance and efficiency of the hybrid components, significantly improving both electric performance as well as the electric range. A large part of that is due to the new electric machine. In the same installation space, we have managed to more than double the power to 70 kW. A new intelligent operating strategy also allows us to meet the EU6 exhaust gas limits. In addition to the efficiency improvement measures, the lithium-ion battery with its 9.4 kWh capacity especially contributes to the car's enhanced range. Thanks to the higher energy density of the new cell technology, the battery only needs a little more installation space in comparison with the Panamera S Hybrid.
